In economics, '''monopsonistic competition''' describes a demand-side [[market structure]] characterized by a relatively large number of buyers with similar (though not identical) [[tastes]].
The supply-side equivalent of monopsonistic competition is [[monopolistic competition]], in which a market is dominated by a relatively large number of sellers who produce differentiated products. Firms who operate in a monopolistically competitive way in an ouput [[market]] tend to operate in a monopsonistically competitive way in input or [[factor markets]].
